Real clients in real custom suits

Except for some of our earliest shots, all the photos on our website are of real clients wearing suits that we have actually made. We use real clients to model our suits, not models (although some of our clients have actually been models, which is great too!), because we want everyone to see how great they too could look in a custom suit.
